04x06 - Proceed with No Expectations

[bunniefuu]

[ominous music plays]

[Fikile] Damian...

[breath trembles]

...you promised that if I confessed,
you'd let me go,

and I did.

[cell phone vibrates]

Please.

[sobs]

- [phone beeps]
- [breath trembles]

Dad, is everything okay?

[father] No, no, everything's fine.

I thought you were only visiting
your friends for the day, though.

[Damian] Uh, we got sidetracked.
I'm still here with them.

Ha... Have you taken your meds?

[father] Yes, yes, don't worry.
When will you be back?

I was thinking we could go out for dinner.

Your favorite spot.

Are you okay, son?

[sniffles] Sure, Dad.

We can go out for dinner
when I get home, but I gotta go now.

- Bye.
- [phone beeps]

I guess
you're not gonna make it for dinner.

[sniffles]

[screams]

[sobs]

[Damian inhales sharply]

[breath trembles]

- Are you okay?
- Shut up.

You don't seem okay.

- [screams] Shut up!
- [sobs]

Oh, you know,
I wanted you to lose everything too.

Your health, swimming, school.

So imagine when I hear
your heartwarming little story

about how your brave sister
risked her life to find you.

[Fikile scoffs softly]

S-So that's why you put Puleng
in all of this?

- It's kind of perfect, isn't it?
- Damian!

[sobs] It was me! Okay?

It's all my fault!

[sobbing]

You have no idea what it's like
to be sure you're about to die.

Oh, wait. You do, don't you?

They sh*t you, right?

Somewhere... around...

- here!
- [screams]

[brakes squeal]

[Gregory, faintly] Let me out, please!
Please!

[Gregory yells, knocks on trunk]

Help!

Let me out, please, man!

Someone, please let me out!

[Gregory grunts]

Please let me out, man!

[Gregory yells]

Where's PoolBoy?

[Gregory yells, knock on trunk]
Please, let me out!

Let me out!

No, please, please, please! Please!

- Help!
- Where's Fikile?

[Puleng exclaims] Get away from me!

[both grunting]

- [grunts]
- [groans]

- Hold on!
- [grunting]

[menacing arrangement of theme song plays]

[Siya] The live stream is down.

- [Thandeka] Where the hell is Peterson?
- I'll go and call her.

[in Zulu] Maybe it's the network.

[in English] Let me try a different spot.

[line rings]

- [line rings]
- [phone beeps]

Puleng's not answering her phone.
Why is she not answering her phone?

It's okay.

- It's gonna be fine.
- [breath trembles]

[Anthony] No.

[Thandeka sighs]

What did I do?

No.

Maybe I did something,
maybe I offended someone.

- No, no, no.
- I can't do this.

[Anthony in Xhosa] Thandeka.
Thandeka, listen, listen.

[in English] It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be fine.

[walkie-talkies beep]

When will you learn
to leave police matters to the police?

Do we know where Puleng is now?

They don't know.

Uh, she had the location pinned.

Uh, s-she has her phone with her, though.

- Let's track Puleng's number down.
- On it, Detective.

[cell phone rings]

[phone beeps]

Mr. Bhele.

[young man and woman chuckle distantly]

[laughing echoes]

[suspenseful music plays]

[young woman laughs]

- [Gregory yells] Help! Let me out!
- [phone rings]

[Gregory yells]

[both laugh]

[Gregory knocks on trunk, wails]

[Puleng struggles softly]

[phone beeps]

[KB] f*ck. Her phone's just ringing.

["I Can Change" by Looceedee plays]

- Someone try Sam?
- I'll call Wade.

[Lunga] Yeah, yeah.
He was with Sam and Puleng last I saw.

Well, Sam's phone is off now.

[sighs]

- Anything?
- No.

[Chris groans softly]

- Don't worry. We'll find Fiks.
- [Chris] Thank you.

- Wendy...
- Not now, Chris.

When? Between not knowing
if Fiks is okay, and where she is,

it's k*lling me
that you hate me right now.

I don't hate you.

Let's just focus on finding Fiks.

[line rings]

Guys, it's Wade.

[Gregory] Let me out!

[tense music plays]

Let me out, man!

- [Gregory groans]
- [Puleng whimpers]

[Puleng gasps]

Wait. This is...

[young woman] Next to your fancy school.

Surprise!

- [grunts] Shut the f*ck up.
- [Gregory groans]

- [musical swell plays]
- [g*n cocks]

- Quietly put your hands up. Put them up.
- [sirens wail]

[sirens approach in distance]

[Fikile gasps]

Help!

- [Peterson] Stop, or I'll sh**t.
- [Wade grunts]

[Damian breathing heavily]

[Fikile] I'm over here! Help!

[Peterson] Wade, step away!

[blade switches]

[Puleng gasps]

Put the Kn*fe down.

[whimpers]

Let James go.

We're not here for you. So do as I say,
and everything will be okay.

- It's okay.

- [Fikile, distantly] Help! Here!
- Come this way.

- Help me! Help!
- Shh!

- f*ck! You bit me!
- [sobs] I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

[winces and seethes]

["I Can Change" continues playing]

- Puleng!
- [Puleng] Mom.

- [Brian] Ask her if Fikile is okay.
- Uh, have you seen Fikile?

Not yet, but I think she's here.
The police have arrived.

Okay, yes. Peterson called.
We're on our way.

Where's Siya?

He's right here.

- Hey, P.
- Hey.

Okay. We'll see you soon, okay?

- Love you.
- Love you too. Bye.

[sighs]

Damian, my name is Detective Peterson.

Right now, I'm sure you are aware
that you are completely surrounded.

- I'd like us to come...
- f*ck.

...to a peaceful compromise.

And for that to happen,
I need to understand why you're here.

We want to help you.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume
you'd appreciate a second chance.

- And you can have it.
- [Fikile sobs]

Just release Fikile, and we can negotiate
an appropriate response.

It's over. Just let me go.

Mm-mm.

No, it's not over.

I'm not going to jail. f*ck this!

- [dialing]
- [line rings]

Damian.

- You f*cked up.
- Look, I didn't call the police. I swear.

I gave you one thing to do.

Damian, what about Fikile?

Don't worry about Fikile.

Damian, it's Detective Peterson.

You need to back off.
This doesn't concern you.

And let me be clear, Detective.

I have a g*n,

and if I even hear a policeman
anywhere in this building,

I will pull the trigger.

[Peterson] Okay. You have my word.

But first,
we need to know that Fikile is okay.

Her family and friends are worried.

- [groans weakly]
- Speak.

Detective, Puleng, I'm okay. I'm just...

There.

Thank you, Damian.

Now, can we please talk
about this whole situation?

You don't wanna talk. You wanna arrest me
as soon as you can lay your hands on me.

No, we can talk about this.

Send Gregory and Puleng in.

Damian, you know I cannot do that.

- Now!
- [whimpers]

Or Fikile dies.

Fiks!

- Stay back, sir! Stay back!
- Fiks!

Stay back! Stay... Stay back.

[Brian] Detective,
my daughter is in there! Please!

You can let them in.

[Anthony] We've got
a family member in there.

Hey.

- Hey.
- Hey, Mom. I'm fine.

- You okay?
- I'm fine. I'm fine.

- And Fikile?
- [sighs] She's in there.

Then why are the police standing around?

- Why are you not sending your people in?
- The captor is a kid. Fikile's a kid.

Kid or no kid,
he's holding my child hostage.

- Is she safe at least, Detective?
- Yes.

We just spoke to her.

- I need to speak to her.
- You need to exercise patience.

While our daughter's
held c*ptive by a lunatic?

[Puleng] He won't release Fikile
unless Gregory and I go in.

[Anthony] Why are we negotiating with him?
He's obviously insane.

[Peterson] He's a teenager with a g*n.

I will not take a chance
with Fikile or my officers.

You all need to remain calm
and let us do our jobs.

Please, Detective, I can talk to him.
Just let me go in.

- [Peterson] Absolutely not.
- [Thandeka] I agree.

[Siya] Let's just leave
this one to the police.

Listen, I'm going in with you.

Sam, it's too risky.

It just needs to be Gregory and me.
It's the two of us that he wants.

[Wade] No. No one's going in.

You heard the police, Puleng. Let's just...
Let's just listen to them for once.

[Fikile] So, what's wrong with your dad?

[Damian] Type two diabetes.

Sorry.

It's all the junk he ate, working
those night shifts at the hospital.

And your mom?

Who knows where she is?

You know, my dad nearly k*lled himself
working to give me the best of everything.

It's why I came to this f*cking school.

Between recovery and homeschooling,
it left my dad deep in debt.

So he worked harder and harder

until the stress
finally caught up with him.

So that's why
you took the settlement from Gregory.

Do you have any idea
how expensive medical care is?

I know I messed up, okay?

[voice breaks] I know.

But let me help you now.

You know, I just wanted to be your friend.

But we did become friends.

Just... [sobs]

Just end this and let me go.

[sniffles] No. You being here
is the only leverage I have.

I'll make sure nothing happens to you.

How the hell are you gonna do that?

I won't press charges.

I live-streamed your sh*t
for the whole world to see.

Okay.

Um, my dad...

he has influence.

[Fikile breathes shakily]

A lot of it.

The same influence
you and your family used to gaslight me

when I needed you the most.

Just stop f*cking lying already.

[whimpers]

Or I'll blow your head off.

[busy tone pulses on line]

It wasn't supposed to end like this.

I mean, we all got a bit hazed up.

You know? I mean,
sh*t like this happens in high school.

That doesn't make it right.

You can do something about this.

Go inside there with that psycho
and have me and Fikile k*lled?

- f*ck, no.
- Listen!

You do whatever the f*ck it takes
to get my girlfriend out of there, okay?

- Sam! Sam, please.
- Or else I'm gonna...

- Be cool, man!
- Please.

[Sam grunts]

[Gregory sighs]

Listen, Gregory,
you almost k*lled someone.

Can you imagine the jail time for that?

Let alone all this crap
that you've caused.

I'll tell you it's a long time.

But you can still score favor
with the police. Do the right thing.

Okay.

- Have you seen Puleng?
- This is madness.

Right here. I can see them.

[knocking on door]

[Puleng continues knocking]

It's me, Puleng. Gregory is here as well.

[objects clattering]

[menacing music plays]

[all breathing heavily]

[whimpers]

Right, Damian, we're here, okay?
Just like you asked us.

It's just us. No police.

All right?

Gregory?

Hey, Damian.

Long time.

Look, man...

I'm so sorry.

For everything.

I know that there's nothing I can do
to take back what I did to you.

[grunts]

But I'm here now.

[breathes heavily] Ready to apologize.

Publicly, if you want.

[Damian inhales sharply]

[Gregory sobs]

[Peterson] Damian, are Gregory
and Puleng in there with you?

[Damian] Yes.

- No one's leaving.
- [Puleng] What the hell do you mean?

Damian, you said that if I brought him,
you'd end all of this.

- He... He even apologized to you.
- [Damian] Tie her up.

Damian, don't do...

You need to start listening
to your elders, Puleng.

[yells] Turn around!

- [Chris] Is it true Puleng went in?
- [KB] Do you even have to ask?

So, apparently, this Damian
is still refusing to let them out.

[Lunga] Damn it, Puleng.

[sighs]

[Damian breathing heavily]

You shouldn't have come.

[Puleng] What else was I supposed to do?

[ethereal vocal music plays]

Puleng...

[sobs]

About the sex tape,

I really didn't mean...

To hurt me?

You had a choice, Fiks.

- I know.
- And you chose to screw me over.

[sobs] And I'm sorry.

I panicked.

[sniffles]

I just needed to buy some time.

[scoffs]

You haven't changed, have you?

After everything, you're still
the same self-centered princess.

Don't call me that.

What else am I supposed to call you
when all you do is think about yourself?

Well, what about you?

Huh?

What about all the sh*t you've done?

Forcing your way into Parkhurst?

Lying into my circle of friends,

using Wade, KB, me,

whoever the f*ck necessary
to get what you want.

Be quiet.

[Fikile] Did you even wonder
if I wanted any of it?

For 17 f*cking years,

I lived in the shadow
of a sister that didn't even exist.

- How do you think that made me feel?
- That's not my fault!

Well, you know your truth because of me.

Well, I never asked you
for the truth, did I?

Shut the f*ck up!

After everything she's done,
you still risk your life to save her.

She didn't ask for it. She just told you.

Why do you keep saying nothing
and f*cking up in the process?

My dad d*ed for nothing.

Well, I lost my mom too, Puleng.

No matter what you or anybody says,

Nwabisa was my mom.

You have a mother, Fiks.

And two f*cking fathers.

I lost the only father I have.

You will never know
how that f*cking feels.

- [Fikile] Damian, stop!

Is this f*cking nice? Huh?

- They're fine.
- [Peterson] You need to let them out now.

[Damian] If I do, will you let me go?

- We'll talk about this, Damian.
- Will you, or will you not?

Of course.

Damian?

- Okay.
- [breath catches]

[dramatic musical swell
plays and intensifies]

- [cop] Okay, moving in.
- Fiks!

- You stay back! Stay back!
- [Sam] Fiks!

You said that you'd let me go, Detective.

I said we'd talk about it, Damian.
Now put the g*n down.

You lied!

You all keep f*cking lying!

Damian, look around you.

- It's over. Let her go and surrender.
- [Fikile] Please.

You're right, Detective. It's been over.

- No, Damian, wait!
- [g*n cocks]

- [Puleng] Fiks!
- [Peterson] Step back, girls.

[Fikile] You don't want to do this.

[tender music plays]

Just think about your dad.

- [sniffles]
- Think about the dinner you promised him.

- Think about your future.
- I have no future.

[Puleng] Yes, you do.

You asked me why I came back for Fiks.

Yes, she's my sister.

But I came back because it's who I am.
But I had to stay true to myself,

and believe that somehow
that would be enough for me to heal.

Damian, I hate that I hurt you, okay?

But I'm not worth
you k*lling yourself over.

None of us are.

I'm just as much to blame
for you having that g*n against your head.

It's not the end of the world, okay?

[sobs]

You can still change your life.

You can still change this moment.

Just... Just give me the g*n.

to come with us to the station.

Your daughter was involved
in an alleged attempted m*rder case.

[Anthony] Come on,
Detective, the girl is tired.

She needs to get home first.

[Fikile] Thanks.

It's okay, Tata.

["Ezinyembezi" by Igqhirha Lomculo plays]

not to see anyone,

but I'll keep you updated
as the case unfolds.

Hey.

- I'm glad you're okay.
- Me too.

[Anthony, softly] Hey.

Hey.

I don't intend to replace your father,

but if there's anything you need,

anything, I'm here.

You and my daughter are sisters,
after all.

- [Fikile] Hey.
- Hey.

[Fikile chuckles]

[sighs]

[chuckles softly]

I am so glad you're okay...
[in Xhosa]...my child.

[in English] Now get some rest, okay?

[chuckles] Yeah.

You too, Ma.

[both chuckle softly]

[Thandeka] Thank you.

Thank you.

[Peterson] I'm sure
the judge will be lenient.

[Anthony] So, did you speak to Brian?

Yes, uh, he's going to keep her home
for a couple of days.

Thandeka...

- [door opens]
- [Puleng] Oh, you're back.

[in Xhosa] Hey, my girl.
[in English] We got some pizza.

- [Puleng] Ooh, yummy.
- [Siya] I told you.

[Lunga laughs]

I was just helping your mom settle in
and order some pizza.

- I'll leave you all to it.
- No, uh...

You should stay.

Hey, look, it's your favorite pizza.

- Of course!
- [Puleng] Yummy. Let's eat.

- What do you have there?
- It's still your favorite pizza.

Mom, did you just buy Siya
his favorite pizzas?

["Miza" by Amakhamandela

[Gregory] It was just a silly prank
that went wrong.

I should have saved him,
but I saved myself instead.

I don't know what it was,
but it was almost as if he enjoyed it.

I was just a kid trying to fit in.
We all were.

We need to look into clearing out
that old swimming clubhouse.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, Harold,
but you should have been on this before.

was happening right next door.

Exam leaks, sex tapes.
You better step up or step out.

Okay, but so no jail, right?

Gregory told them that I wasn't part
of his plan to begin with,

and they took away
the accessory after the fact charge.

So, yeah, no jail.

[Chris] That's great news, Fiks.

Uh, I should go.

I told you Fiks would be okay.

Yeah. [sighs]

I'm sorry.

About everything.

I know you are, Christopher.

As much as we care about each other,

clearly, we're not end game.

Yeah, but even if we're not end game,

can't we just... [sighs]

- ...get some now game...
- [chuckles]

...until school ends, huh?

Tata, I'm so sorry.

For everything.

[voice breaks]
I really, really let you down.

[in Xhosa] Whoa, my child.

[sighs]

When I think about everything
that's happened...

[in English]...I realize that nothing else
matters but your happiness, Bhelekazi.

And if swimming is what makes you happy,
I'll support you all the way.

- [in English] Thank you.

they would b*at me up...

still recording me.

would let people do that to him?

[Wendy] I'm the one that got you expelled.
I told Grootboom

that someone was selling exam papers,
but I didn't know it was you.

That's cool. I mean, I...

I did steal the papers.

But I kind of think
it worked out for the better in the end.

[Wade] Are you sure you want to do this?

[sighs]

I think I want to wait.

- Yeah, me too.
- Yeah? [laughs]

Uh, yeah, uh, I'm just waiting for Asanda.

Hmm.

She's really lucky to have you.

Just like I've been.

Wow. Can... Can you say it again?

As we take a final step
outside of these walls, matriculants,

these walls that have brought us
both comfort and pain...

that took the dreams we came in with

and gave us the tools
to make them a reality.

[students cheer]

[Tahira] As we leave these walls
of Parkhurst to greet the world...

- What's up, b*tches?
- [Chris] Reece! Guys, Reece made it!

[Tahira] ...we take with us
the lessons of great friendships...

I missed you guys.

- [Fikile squeals]
- [Reece] Oh, hi!

[Tahira] ...heartaches,

disappointments, and hopes realized.

May we never forget the immense strength
that lies within each and every one of us.

Whew, we made it.

Now, let's go out there and show the world
what it means to be Parkhurst High.

- [Chris] It's my song, let's go!
- [woman] Hey!

Let's go! Five, six, seven, eight!

[Chris] Let's go!

- What?

[laughs]

You're going back to Spain?
Oh my gosh! That's amazing!

And you? Have you heard from the uni?
Are you going to your law school?

My 85% wasn't enough
to balance out my previous fail, so...

So what are you going to do?

I don't know. Maybe take a gap year,

you know, figure out what's next.

How about you do
all that figuring out in Spain?

Spain?

Spain.

I like the sound of that.
